Katoomba Airfield
 

Hi folks,

Has anyone landed at YKAT lately? I was in Blackheath last month and drove past but couldn't get on the field due to a closed fence. There was a sign with a number on it for access and info but it just rang and rang.

It's still in ERSA and despite there being another contact number in there, no one ever answers.

I thought it would be cool to fly up for the weekend instead of drive for once... but likes look it's not going to happen!

YKAT will be opening up soon, notams will be updated with new contact info when the remedial works have been finished. use will be by permission only.

One scary airstrip, my man.
Took my C150 in there about 35 years ago, and it's all tiger country.
An EFATO there and you want your collection of rabbits feet,- or rosary beads.

You haven’t been to PNG I gather! :uhoh:

Fathom, I haven't, and have no plans to, but watched Youtube vids and can appreciate what you mean.
Yerranderrie is another tricky one,- (by Oz standards).

I think the C150 is banned in PNG !

YKAT is scary, and Yerrandarrie is tricky, you guys need to get out more.

YSBK on 11 scares me.

So who do you call to get permission for Yerranderie? Wouldn't mind checking it out!
